Don't know exactly where to put this post so I put it here. Picked this up recently. It was full of parts but no complete cars. Anyone know this racer or track? I hope it will bring back some fond memories for some.

MINRA was of course a well-known association, similar to NAMRA. As far as the raceway, there were so many...
The box is a cool find with early Auto World decals...

Let's see some pix of it open with the parts in it.

Some people are like Slinkies... they're really good for nothing... but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Box came from ebay. The original owner had some kind of gooky oil concoction that spilled on a lot of the stuff. I took a brush and soap to everything. Some of the goodies were a Cannon Vendetta roof, Cox sil-slicks and some other assorted crapola. As I have stated before, I got tons of stuff. Let me know if you are looking for something or would like to stop by. Joe

Joe, could you put up the Epay link to the auction so we could see some pix of what it looked like before you took off the the goo?

The auction was a couple months ago and I don't know how to pull up the pic. OK, heres a couple of pics of what was inside,somewhere mixed into this pile. Use your imagination. This is just a sample of the junk I have. I feel like one of those pathetic creatures on the Hoarding show. It looks much less messy in person.
. Come to think of it, I have a lot of work to do.

Joe since I'm a junk man I will come over and do a clean out and take away your junk for free if you like.

Greg, I thought the correct spelling of leg in your part of the woods would be "laig" . The parts are in there somewhere in the pics,sort of a "Wheres Waldo" thing.
